One of our responsibilities as agriculture teachers is to insure that our
profession has a bright future. One way that we all can help in this
effort is to encourage students to consider a career in agricultural
education.
Please take the time to encourage a student to participate in the Teach
Agriculture Recruitment Day. This event will be held on October 31st at
the three major institutions for agricultural education teacher training
(UGA-Athens, UGA-Tifton, & Ft. Valley State).
If you know of a student (and parents) that would benefit from this
exposure to the possibility of majoring in agricultural education, please
have them contact Dr. Dennis Sheppard ([log in to unmask]) or Mr. Ben
Lastly ([log in to unmask]) for more details.
If each Ag. Teacher could encourage one student to pursue a career
teaching agriculture, the future of our program would be secure!
Thank You for making a positive difference in agricultural education!
